"For the fourth consecutive quarter, we posted net sales, gross
margin and adjusted EBITDA improvements, including positive
adjusted EBITDA," said Keith Stewart, ValueVision CEO. "I am
pleased with the gross margin progress our team continues to make
and our ability to be nimble in response to changing consumer
preferences. Additionally in Q2, we continued to lead the televised
electronic retailing industry in driving sales via the Internet and
mobile devices, which were up 23% vs. last year."
William McGrath, EVP & CFO, stated, "First half 2011
adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million is the best we have achieved in
over five years, and represents a $10.4 million improvement vs.
last year. Also during the first six months, gross profit dollars
are up double digits and our gross margin rate of 38% is a 10-year
company record. Additionally, our national cable and satellite
footprint increased by 4% vs. last year to approximately 79
million. This powerful mass distribution channel, which is heavily
integrated into our Internet and mobile platforms, is a key
differentiator of our business and driver of our long-term growth
plan."
Mr. McGrath added, "We recognize that some variability in
quarterly sales performance is to be expected, particularly as we
build out our merchandise categories and strengthen our team.
During the month of June in Q2, sales and gross profit performance
was flat while the months of May and July resulted in 10% top line
growth and 15% increase in gross profit dollars. Looking ahead, we
remain committed to our long-term sales and adjusted EBITDA growth
goals."
Q2 Review ValueVision's Q2 sales growth
was impacted by a temporary mid-quarter shift in consumer demand
away from high-ticket, low-margin Consumer Electronics toward
higher margin Jewelry and Health & Beauty products. The shift
toward Jewelry led to a slight increase in Q2 product returns and
lower new customer activity, which are trends normally associated
within the Jewelry category.
The Watch category benefitted from a more diverse product mix
and achieved improved productivity per minute with attractive
margins, as part of a strategically planned reduction in air-time.
Health & Beauty sales and margins remained strong in Q2, driven
by a number of new product launches along with a core base of
skincare and beauty tools.
Fashion & Accessories achieved growth in sales, margin rate
and productivity on the strength of well-received fashion
introductions in apparel, handbags and shapewear. Performance in
the Home category built on the successes of Q1 product launches,
achieving strong second quarter sales in cookware, table top and
bedding.
Bob Ayd, President, commented, "Overall, we continued to make
progress across our product categories in both top line and gross
margin rates despite the temporary shift in consumer demand. During
the first six months of 2011, our merchandise teams laid a strong
foundation with a number of innovative product initiatives that
will position us well for the back half of this year. These plans,
along with a compelling line-up of high-profile brands,
entertaining guests and exciting programming, add to our confidence
in growing the business and further driving key operating
metrics."
Balance Sheet Update ValueVision ended Q2
2011 with cash and cash equivalents totaling $42.5 million,
including $5.0 million in restricted cash and $25 million in
long-term debt. As planned, inventory levels rose to $52.7 million
as compared to $42.2 million in Q1 2011, as the merchandise mix
shifted more toward product categories held in the Company's
inventory.

Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA represents net loss
for the respective periods excluding depreciation and amortization
expense, interest income (expense) and income taxes. The company
defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding debt extinguishment,
non-operating gains (losses); non-cash impairment charges and
write-downs; restructuring; and non-cash share-based compensation
expense. The company has included the term "Adjusted EBITDA" in our
EBITDA reconciliation in order to adequately assess the operating
performance of our "core" television and internet businesses and in
order to maintain comparability to our analyst's coverage and
financial guidance, when given. Management believes that Adjusted
EBITDA allows investors to make a more meaningful comparison
between our core business operating results over different periods
of time with those of other similar companies. In addition,
management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a metric measure to evaluate
operating performance under its management and executive incentive
compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as
an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or to
cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be
construed as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other
companies. The company has included a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to net loss, its most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure, in this release.
